Chapter 184 - 185: Seizing the Chapel
Xia Yangyang hurried forward to intervene, “What are you doing?”
Kim Fei’er stepped forward and said, “We need this hall for our rehearsal. Naturally, anything irrelevant has to be thrown out.”
Xia Yangyang retorted, “I’ve obtained the application form for this hall. For the next half a month, the rights to use it belong to us, so please leave.”
Kim Fei’er arrogantly responded, “Don’t be ridiculous, Xia Yangyang. Don’t you know that our Performing Arts Department has priority over the use of the school hall? Even if you’ve received the application form, the teacher who is helping us with our rehearsal is our department head and the principal’s daughter. Do you think it makes sense to discuss the rights over the hall with me?”
Wen Xiaochu interjected from the side, “No matter what, there’s a principle of first-come-first-served. Even if she’s the principal’s daughter, she still has to follow the rules.”
Kim Fei’er scoffed, “Then you should go and talk about principles with the principal.”
Having said that, she turned around and commanded, “Throw out all the remaining props and clothes.”
People on Xia Yangyang’s side were understandably defiant.
The arguing from both sides was escalating, and it almost resulted in a physical altercation.
At that moment, Gu Zhaohan entered with his backpack.
Seeing Gu Zhaohan come in, Kim Fei’er instantly brightened up and greeted him, “Prince, you’re so early. I thought you were only free to rehearse tonight?” Gu Zhaohan’s expression was cool as he asked, “What happened?”
Kim Fei’er held onto Gu Zhaohan’s arm and said dismissively, “Just some clowns here causing trouble.”
Wen Xiaochu protested, “Kim Fei’er, who are you calling a clown? Gu Zhaohan, you’re here just in time. Can you judge this fairly?”
Wen Xiaochu explained the whole situation of Kim Fei’er seizing the hall.
This included Xia Yangyang applying for usage rights early in the morning and the painstaking effort to move the props in the morning.
Wen Xiaochu continued, “Isn’t this going too far? The hall is a public property of the school; there’s no such thing as special priority rights.”
All eyes then turned towards Gu Zhaohan, seemingly waiting for an answer.
Regardless, Gu Zhaohan held high prestige and was the only person who could keep Kim Fei’er in check.
If he decided to call it off, there would be nothing Kim Fei’er could do, would there?
Xia Yangyang also had her gaze fixed on Gu Zhaohan.
Although Gu Zhaohan was on the same team as Kim Fei’er, to Xia Yangyang, Gu Zhaohan always seemed to be a person who knew right from wrong.
In this incident, Kim Fei’er was obviously acting tyrannically and unreasonable.
Xia Yangyang refused to believe that Gu Zhaohan would team up with Kim Fei’er.
Gu Zhaohan remained silent for a while before his gaze shifted to Xia Yangyang.
With a cold tone, Gu Zhaohan then said, “You should just give up. You cannot win this selection. You’re wasting your effort.”
Xia Yangyang did not expect Gu Zhaohan to say such a thing.
Nobody else seemed to have expected it either.
After all, everyone knew that Xia Yangyang was Gu Zhaohan’s aunt.
Given this relationship, there was no reason why Gu Zhaohan wouldn’t help her.
However, not only did Gu Zhaohan not help, he added insult to injury by making that sarcastic remark.
Kim Fei’er didn’t expect Gu Zhaohan to side with her either, and she was smug about it, “Xia Yangyang, Prince is right. If you give up now, we can forget our bet. But if you refuse to see reason, don’t blame me for not going easy on you later.”
Xia Yangyang declared, “I will not give up, nor will I admit defeat.”
After saying that, Xia Yangyang turned around and told the others, “Move the stuff to the east hall.”
As she was leaving, she could hear Kim Fei’er’s triumphantly mocking laughter from behind, “She’s really putting on a strong front. I can’t wait to see how long she can keep pretending..”
